A new month, a new catalog!

Well, I am still a consultant for CTMH, a junior consultant. Which, other than not receiving a 22% commission on items I've sold (which really just amounted to 22% off of what I had to pay for the items I purchased to hoard...) and not being on the catalog autoship list isn't really that different than being a "regular" consultant. Oh wait, yes it is ... it means that at the end of this quarter, or maybe at the end of next quarter, my CTMH Website, will cease to be operational.

While I have your attention for a few minutes, check your scrapbooking supply ... corner, bag, room, whatever it may be ... see if you have everything you need for your upcoming crop or work on your newest album. There are many, many new products which are making their debut today. Here is a quick link to the online shopping page. Plan your holiday cards, vacation scrapbook albums and even get ideas for your next page layout.

The new catalog is wonderful - although I don't see that it is accessible online yet - it will be very soon! :-) Happy scrapping!

School? Not soon....

With a late Labor Day this year, our older kids aren't starting school until Wednesday, September 9th. Can you believe it? Two weeks from now. That's a long time away....I guess it will go pretty quickly if you're 7 or 8!

On the other hand, I think they are ready for school to start again. They're starting to fight a little more each and every day and they're finally complaining that they're "bored". We still don't have their teacher assignments so we can't even finish their "back to school" shopping. DinoBoy is going into the third grade and Twink is going into the second. DinoBoy's list for school is 2 pages long and Twinkletoes' is almost that long. There is only one difference: DinoBoy's is teacher specific. That's an issue when you have no idea who your teacher is going to be. I looked back at the Principal's last bulletin in June promising teacher assignments in the beginning of August (she indicated like we had last year - I don't remember getting them that early.) Here were are with just a few days left in August and I still know no more than I did the first week in August. Its frustrating. I have plenty of other things to complain about but that is all I will blog about today.

I lost two pounds last week. Yippee!! Of course, I probably gained them all back last night eating a piece of the jello poke cake I made (Mom and the kids frosted it, so I can't take all of the credit.) It was so gooooood though. The Husband actually had two pieces (shhhhh!) I never make sweets and I was actually going to take it to a picnic that we went to on Sunday but I couldn't pull it off in time. I sure do hope my Mom took some of it over to Mommom today. If not, I am going to have to borrow someone else's willpower in order to keep away from it tonight. :-)

Hope all is well with everyone!

Just a cute picture

Trying out my new "used" camera which replaces the one we took to Jamaica this year (the lense fell out while we were there...) SweeTart is getting so big and her personality is ENORMOUS! Love those curls!!
